Inciarte's two HRs help Braves past Marlins

MIAMI -- Ender Inciarte slugged two homers and Tyler Flowers drove in the go-ahead run with a ninth-inning single to lead the Atlanta Braves past the Miami Marlins 5-4 on Wednesday night at Marlins Park.

Flowers' two-out single drove in Brandon Phillips from second base. Miami shortstop J.T. Riddle dove to his left but couldn't reach the hard line drive.

Marlins closer A.J. Ramos (0-1), who gave up the hit to Flowers, took the loss (0-1).

Arodys Vizcaino (1-0) picked up the win in relief and Jim Johnson recorded his first save.

Both starting pitchers got no-decisions -- Tom Koehler for Miami (4-4) and Jaime Garcia for Atlanta.

The win by the Braves (2-6) snapped a five-game losing streak and overshadowed a two-homer, four-RBI night for the Marlins' Giancarlo Stanton.

Inciarte, who had three RBIs, produced the second two-homer game of his career. He also accomplished the feat on Sept. 27 against the San Diego Padres.

Stanton, who is in his eighth year in the majors and already has 210 homers, hadn't gone deep this season before Wednesday. But he lofted a high fly-ball homer to left center in the third and then drilled a line-drive homer to left in the fifth. It was the 19th multi-homer game of his career.

His second homer of the night landed in the Clevelander bar's swimming pool, and a fan jumped in to retrieve the souvenir.

The game was delayed for 27 minutes in the fourth inning after some of the lights in the outfield went out during a groundout by Phillips.

During the delay, the only three players who remained on the field were Marlins outfielders Marcell Ozuna, Christian Yelich and Stanton, who sat on the grass in center field and talked.

Inciarte and Stanton traded two-run homers in the third inning.

Inciarte pulled his shot to right to give Atlanta a 2-0 lead. He hit a Koehler breaking ball.

Stanton pulled his shot -- also off a breaking pitch -- to left to tie the score 2-2. Unlike some of Stanton's mammoth homers, this one was a high fly that barely left the yard.

Freddie Freeman put the Braves on top with a solo homer to center in the fourth. It was the third homer of the season for Freeman, who got a 91 mph fastball and stroked it 422 feet.

Stanton's second two-run homer put Miami up 4-3 in the fifth.

NOTES: Marlins SS J.T. Riddle got his first big-league hit on a check-swing infield single in the second inning. This was his second game in the majors. ... 1B Tyler Moore made his first start as a Marlins player as Miami rested Justin Bour. ... Atlanta recalled RHP Jason Hursh from Triple-A Gwinnett and placed RHP Chaz Roe (right lat strain) on the 10-day disabled list. ... This was Atlanta's final game before its home opener on Friday against the San Diego Padres. That game will also mark the debut of SunTrust Park, a stadium has waited 37 months -- between planning and construction -- to finally open. ... Braves RHP Julio Teheran is set to start that game, which means he will throw the first real pitch in SunTrust Park history. ... This will also mark the third home park in the history of the franchise, following Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium and Turner Field. ... Miami opens a four-game series against the visiting New York Mets on Thursday. Miami will start LHP Wei-Yin Chen.
